<h3>The salary of Perry if inflation is 6.5 % is $ 32617.475</h3>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

Perry made $34,885 this year

The inflation rate was 6.5 percent

To find: Salary worth if inflation rate was 6.5 percent

From given,

Inflation rate = 6.5%

Therefore,

Worth of salary due to inflation = 100 % - 6.5 % = 93.5 %

Money earned in this year by Perry = $ 34, 885

Therefore,

Worth of Perry salary due to inflation = 34,885 x 93.5%

\text{Worth of Perry salary due to inflation }= 34885 \times \frac{93.5}{100}\\\\\text{Worth of Perry salary due to inflation }= 34885 \times 0.935\\\\\text{Worth of Perry salary due to inflation }= 32617.475

Thus the salary of Perry if inflation is 6.5 % is $ 32617.475
